New tag is an office/home office of something "very useful"... nothing cheesey will qualify so it better be a good one! Its rainy today but this is a great shot of the Northern Headquarters of the Famous/world recognized BUCK KNIVES!! :{)

Why is there a naval base in Idaho? They must have really needed someone’s vote on a bill.

The Naval base primarily served as a testing grounds because of the depths in the lake beyond 1500'. It also had an integral part in servicing our northern neighbors as they punched a serviceable road through Canada on towards Alaska. That way they had a secondary route and did not have to rely on the shipping lanes only to get goods, services, troops and supplies up there. The Farragut Naval Base is still in use today for Submarine, Sonar and Sub type equipment testing. The next time i'm up there with the family we'll hit Museum again and take some pictures of the cool stuff they have there. :{)

Indiana has one in the southwest central part of the state (Crane Naval base). Naval Sea Systems Command > Home > Warfare Centers > NSWC Crane
No deep lakes or rivers nearby either.
Heck, the Military's main Airlift Command is at Scott AFB, 17 east of St. Louis-middle of soybeans and cornfields.
They put military bases anywhere.
Sorry for the hijack..
